I don't have any clocks that need manual changing. Haven't for years. And I rarely know what the date is unless some external stimuli makes me check. It's just not relevant to my daily life.

Your experience is not mine, and mine is not yours. Why is it so offensive that someone has tried to make my life better? Is it just jealousy that they didn't work on one of your problems?

Never said anything was offensive, I was merely pointing out examples of ways that one could remind themselves to change the batteries.

However if you insist on focusing one a singular viewpoint then I will remove myself from the conversation.

Is your microwave networked or something? That is not typical.

I'm not even really conscious of microwave clocks still being a thing. I guess my microwave probably has a clock, dunno why I'd ever set or use it, though.

I just checked, apparently my stove has a clock, too. It's not set to anything resembling the current time.

Neither of these appliances are things I would ever look at when I want to know what time it is, so I just file them under things that are not clocks.
